Healthy Chicken Soup with Kale

If there’s any kale recipe that deserves being paired with chicken, it’s this one. The flavor of healthy kale combined with homemade chicken stock and chicken breast makes a soup that’s hard to resist. We’re huge fans of eating kale in almost any form and when there’s left over kale, carrots and chicken, we’ll simmer up a big batch to savor during the week.

This chicken soup recipe doesn’t get any easier than this. The ground cumin and bit of soy sauce really add a wonderful depth of flavor to this soup. Bland chicken soup sucks that’s why when developing this recipe we decided that the touch of soy sauce and spice of ground cumin would elevate this recipe to big flavor. Readers love this recipe and so do their kids. It’s great to have soup that pleases everyone in the family.

This chicken soup with kale recipe uses boneless skinless chicken breast and this makes the soup healthy, with very little fat. But if you’re a fan of chicken thigh meat, then you can certainly use that as well. What you’ll get is a more flavorful chicken kale soup because brown meat has so much more flavor.

To make it a more substantial meal, add come cooked egg noodles or pasta for a chicken noodle kale soup. The possibilities are endless!

I am having dental surgery soon and I was looking for recipes using some of my favorite ingredients with the intentions of freezing it for ease of cooking later. I came across your recipe and even though it is 90 degrees here (Arizona), I made it today. Sadly, the soup never made it to the freezer. One test taste and oh my gosh. My husband, who is not a big fan of Kale, loved it – we ate it all! The only changes were, instead of using chili powder, I used fresh cilantro. I also used a mixture of kale, spinach, and chard and sprinkled some fresh parmesan cheese on top. Delicious! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
